CHECKING OF STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT FOR START-ING TORQUE
(1) If a crack is noted in the dust cover, replace it, adding
grease.(2) Deflect side to side the stabilizer link ball joint stud several
times.(3) Mount two nuts on the ball joint, and then measure the ball
joint starting torque.
Standard value:
1.7-3.2 Nm (15-28 in.lbs.)(4) If the starting torque exceeds the upper limit of standard
value, replace the stabilizer link.
(5) Even if the starting torque is below the lower limit of the
standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it has
drag and excessive play.
BALL JOINT DUST COVER REPLACEMENTNozm(1) Remove the clip ring and the dust cover.
(2) Apply multipurpose grease to the lip and inside of the dust
cover.Grease: MOPAR Multi-mileage Lubricant

several times.
4.Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then, while operatingthe starting motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the left and right several times
(for 1-5 to 20
seconds).
Caution
1. During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so thatthe level never falls below the lower positiin

5.Connect the ignition cable, and then start the engine (idling).6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are
no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is
upito the specified position on the level gauge.
8.Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level whenthe steering wheel is turned left and right.
9.Check whether or not the change in the fluid level is within5 mm
(.2 in.) when the engine is stopped and when it is
running.
Caution
1.If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm I.2 in.) or more,
the air has not been completely bled from the system,
and thus must be bled completely.2. If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is
stopped, the air has not been completely bled.
3. If air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnormal
noises from the pump and the flow-control valve, and
this
condition could cause a lessening of the life of the
pump, etc.
